Computational modeling reveals how stretching and squeezing a diamond’s crystal lattice precisely tunes the dynamic quantum ...

image: Defect engineering is an effective strategy to modify 2D materials for enhanced HER activity. By structuring edge defects, vacancy defects and dopant derived defects, the electronic structure ...

Atomic vacancies are a type of point defect in a crystal lattice where one or more atoms are absent from their regular lattice positions. Although they might seem like simple imperfections, these ...

As a new member of photovoltaic family, antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3) has the satisfactory bandgap of 1.7eV, benefiting the fabrication of the top absorber layer of tandem solar cells. Due to special ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford and collaborators have used femtosecond laser pulses to activate individual single-photon emitters inside high-purity diamond, a step that could make ...

Defect engineering is the deliberate introduction, removal, or manipulation of structural imperfections in nanomaterials to tailor their properties for specific applications. Unlike the traditional ...
